My website
Thank you for reading my profile and for reaching out for help. I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist who works with both individuals and couples. I am also fully qualified in Cognitive analytic therapy and also fully trained in EMDR for trauma work. I also have a commitment to help manage relationships both with oneself, others and the world in general. I’m also mindful of helping overcome loss whether this is a loss of hope, loss of direction or loss of enjoyment. I am to work alongside my clients with tenderness and professionalism working to create a safe, nonjudgemental and welcoming space
I hope you feel able to be yourself with me and be accepted and seen. I have an interest in intercultural dynamics and working with diversity. I welcome difference and challenge shame and hope through our alliance and therapy to build scaffolding and self-acceptance.

I believe the therapeutic alliance is so important and that you feel able to bring yourself and feel accepted and not judged. I like to work creatively underpinned this with my psychodynamic understanding. My aim is to work alongside you to help understand why you need support at this time and understand your relationships and challenges to improve your reality and autonomy
